Title: FS/WTT: Kingsaver (Linear, complicated green ALPs) SOLD!
Post by: AKIMbO on Sat, 04 January 2014, 10:04:15
I need some extra funds for a new computer build so I'm selling my Kingsaver ALPs TKL. 

The keyboard uses complicated linear green ALPs switches, a heavier complicated linear cream ALPs spacebar switch, and amber LEDs...all pulled from a Zenith keyboard.  The switches are in great shape.  A few words of warning, if you've never typed on linear green ALPs they are very pingy so expect a very pingy sounding keyboard.  The case has a few defects which I've pictured below (miniscule scratch next to left shift and a tiny nick next to the right ctrl key).  The keycaps pictured below are also included.  The Pause/Break key has been reprogrammed to act as a windows key.

The price is $430 $420 $415 $410 $400 $395 shipped OBO, payment via paypal gift (CONUS Only).  Also willing to trade the Kingsaver for interesting items...PM me with trade offers.   SOLD!

Actually, this was the bare PCB that I got in the package sherryton was selling...which I then built with green alps.  I'm keeping the blue alps kingsaver and the salmon alps kingsaver is going to someone else.  So...yeah I guess I did just get this!  :p

I will see if I can get a video shot tonight and upload it.

Ping refers to a metallic, reverberating sound caused by the spring inside the switch.  I believe the metal case on the Kingsaver enhances the ping sound of the switches.  When the switches were in a plastic Zenith case the ping wasn't noticeable.

Also...$10 price drop.

Again you yanks get the best stuff, I'm surprised no one has jumped on this with extreme prejudice - good luck with this sale.  I know for a fact here in Australia it'll sell like minutes as it's posted due to it's extreme rarity.

I hope you find someone that will love it as much as you obviously have.  Who the hell wants to fork out $450+ for an OLD SSK when you can get this baby instead.

I wish you could sell this thing. I would love to have it (to transplant blue switches into) but it is about $300-350 over my budget right now!

I have a rock bottom price I'm willing to sell the board for.  Not a single soul has PM'ed me to make an offer (cash, trade, or otherwise).  T_T

They are in between red and black.  The spacebar switch is definitely akin to black though.  The 3mm actuation distance will throw you off for sure...plus linear alps are inifintely smoother than linear cherry mx switches.
